	John Bright born 1853c Pontypool Monmouthshire Marriaed Elizabeth Williams November 22 1873 Parish Church Llanhilleth. Elizabeth fathers name given on marriage certificate is William Edwards, need to find reason this name given rather than Williams. John Bright and Elizabeth had son also called John Bright 1878c who married Annie Beatrice Redwood in 1901 in Pontypool, John senior went to America in 1912 and Annie went in 1917 with the children, Annie evidently did not like it and came home presumably with the children. John returned at the start of the second world war and went to live with a family called Edwards. If you have a story simlar I would be glad of any information because Iam at a brick wall in trying to move this side of the family along. Having now seen copy of marriagecrtificate bought by some one else a few years ago fathers name given as William Williams. It is same certificate as all details match including record number. Many Thanks Frank
